Where's the Money, George?

Here's one question I wish some reporter had asked of President George W. "I never make mistakes" Bush at his press conference this evening:

"Mr. President: Given your stated determination to 'stay the course' and do whatever necessary to follow through on your policy in Iraq, and given both the increasing costs of our Iraqi operations and of the burgeoning budget deficits here at home, would you be willing to raise taxes, or even to consider forgoing any of the new tax cuts you seek, in order to finance our military operations?"

I wonder how he would answer that. Somehow, I don't think his determination to do whatever has to be done to "achieve victory" in Iraq would include cutting back any of the goodies he's passing out to the wealthy. No, let the little people pay for his war, both with their lives and with the economic well-being of the future generations who will be forced to foot the bill for our economic recklessness today. Let no cost fall on the wealthy and the powerful.
